OUR F,RsTPAoE ILLUSTRATION.

It goes without assertion that Santa
Claus is the embodiment of all that is good
and generous. And while he showers his
good gifts in such abundance upon the little
folks, he does not forget grown people
either. The poor artist, who has long been
without a commission, besought Santa Claus
to permit him to paint his picture. The
kindly old fellow at once consented and no
doubt, as the portrait the artist is making
promises u be a good one, will pay him
handsomely. 1t is to be hoped too that the
artist will at once replenish his wardrobe;
at least that he will buy himself some shoes
and socks of which he stands in special need.
At any rate we trust old Santa's kindnesst to
him will bring the same merry Christmas to
the knight of he brush and palette which
we wish our readers to enjoy, not only this
year, but for many, many happy years to
cono ...'f -.

arisen to the ENJOY

1t was not the fresh
outbreak of a family

the heels of violence,
but the fact that a

distant part of the
country had opened a

Helen was miserable, and in her feyerish
and ftful sleep that night, she saw a conf

morning, after bidding the Gill family a
hurried goodbye, she set out for Nash

of tiresome riding in q rough wagon, but
without stopping to rest she consulted a
lawyer and then called Oh the United States

each day, sent them a dinner that musthave
gone far toward cooling their anger. When
the trial came on she appeared before the

forcible and SO full Of sympathy, that the
old fellows, who themselves were from the
mountains, disregarding the law and the
Judges charge, brought in q verdict Of not

The trial terminated the day before

THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Strange bundles aro smuggled
Inside, unaware,
And hidden away with
The greatest Of care.
The children, with secrets
They're burning to toll,
And In an excitement
That nothing can Quell,
Are hourly asking
How many more days
Before it is Christmas.
With checks all ablaze.
The old folks, as eager, -,
The fever have caught,
And crowd in the places
Where presents are bought.
To them Merry Christmas
Is sweeter, we know,
Than when their own stockings
Were filled long ago.
way up from the kitchen
Spiced odors arise
OF genuine, homemade,
Delicious mince-pies,
Just stuffed full Of raisins
AS big and as round
AS little Jack Horner
So happily found.
The long winter nights
All much longer appear,
For who can sleep soundly
With Christmas so near.
And now, for the stockingsi
Nc tots tiny hose
Can hold half the treasures
Kriss Kringle bestows;
So mammals great big ones
Are got with delight,
All ready to hang up
On Santa Claus night
Now, Christmas is near! and
st. Nick in his sleigh,
Behind his swift RENDERS,
Is flying this way.
He's now on the snow-clouds,
He'll be at your gate;
Prepare for his coming
There's no time to wait.

Who St. Nicholas Was.

The good st. Nicholas ONE down to us
from Southern Asia through fifteen CEN
turtles and seems to grow more loving and
lovable with age. He was a real Christian
saint--a Bishop-born in Lycia in the fourth
century and was the special friend of un-
married girls and children. He Is the
Santa Claus of the Dutch. Tradition says
he was very rich and very generous and On
Christmas day went around the town and
threw a purse of gold to every girl who
wanted to marry but was too poor TO catch
. husband. One time during q terrible
famine he went to see q mar who had killed
and. eaten three Of his own children and the
rood saint called for their bones and made

THE CONVENTION.

ASTORIA is honored by the presence
Of the full congressional delegation,
the governors of the state and terri
tory. ex-senators and ex-congressmen
and others who stand high IN the esti-
nation of their fellow citizens, who
are in attendance at the Columbia
waterway convention, now IN session
in this city. Thus far there seems to
be little done beyond the preliminary
work of routine parliamentary duties,
reception and discussion of reports,
and interchange of opinion. This
last is. of itself, a good thing. We are
all SO busy in affairs of public and
private capacities that it is always a
benefit to drop business for awhile
and get together to become better
acquainted and see what others think
about things that have occupied con-
siderable of our individual attention.
Then. too. the expression of spoken
thought is a benefit. The speeches oi
ex-senators Slater and Kelly and ex-
congressman George yesterday after
noon; the speeches of senators Dolpf
and Mitchell and congressman Her
mann last evening, were of value, o.
importance, and worth hearing a
much for the information as for th'
subject matter of the discourse.
But the convention has as yet dom
little actual, practical work Some
thing tangible is expected, is looke(
for by the dwellers in the Columbii
basin who wish free river, and who's
eyes are now turned to Astoria, to Sc
what the Waterway Convention vii

there is yet plenty of time to do it.

after rigid self pruning process.
The crooked, the ill-shaped branches, or
the mistaken and "Grange-deluded fell
lows" as they term themselves, had been
cut off from membership by their own in
difference and neglect to contribute to-
ward the support of the Grange. There
remained, however, after this vigorous
slashing of the underbrush,
A STRONG, STURDY GROWTH
OF men and women who had united them
selves with a loyal devotion to the order,
irrespective Of its outward or seeming sue
cess, and who knew full well that an
earthly, like an eternal heaven, is not
reached at single bound. Believing in
its purposes, pledged to maintain and
practice its teachings, this class of Patrons
of Uusbandry now sees solid prosperity
in the order, and evidences Of its influence
and strength in every direction. Aside
from the money advantages which, under
some arrangements, the Grange affords its
members, there are growing out of it I'M
told greater values, and the self-confident
farmer and his family to-day, who laughs
at the combined efforts of their fellow
farmers, may one day see the fable of the
hare and the tortoise illustrated in all too
vivid reality. JENNIE BUELL.e

The RECENT CHAHGEs.-The Southern
Pacific people state that the credit OF hav-
ing inaugnrated the recent improvements
and changes in railroad travel does not be-
long to Vice-President T. J. Potter or the
Union Pacific at all. The whole change
was worked out by Messrs. Towne, Good
man and Fillmore many months before
anything was heard of it, and it was only
after great deal of difficulty that the
Union Pacific people could be induced to
consent. The latest phase of the fast-train
service is the announcement of the Iowa
lines of their determination to put on fast
trains between Omaha and Chicago. reduc-
ing the time between these two points by
several hours. The way the present time
table is arranged there is little benefit in
getting into Chicago any earlier.-.s r. Cal
